Of course they do. Prices are higher due to credit card use.

Ever heard of a thing called a “gas station”? “Cash/Credit” price? 😉

Other merchants just roll the 2.5%-3.5% cost of credit cards into their product selling price.

Some restaurants I have been to charge an extra fee for credit card use (others have a “cash discount” instead), but they are kinda rare....most restaurants just plow the extra cost of credit card processing into the menu price.

“Stores are not charging extra for using credit cards.”

I don’t know about actual stores, but I know that at my beauty salon and nail salon, when I check out there’s a lower price for using cash.

We use cash for most things. Of course, online purchases are via credit card.
